"Jesus Camp"

[Wha?]

In my search for material on this subject, I happened on an interesting study (article summarizing it here). The conclusions resulting from that study, regardless of veracity for adults, are certain to be true of children, as others have said: Young minds are impressionable, inherently trusting of authority figures and their opinions, and gullible enough to believe stories that profess themselves to be true (think urban legends). This is especially potent when combined; indeed, it appears as though Church and Scripture were designed around proselytizing children, though perhaps this is due to the poor state of education in all but the last century.
